Crossing the Water
New York: Harper & Row, 1971.
Price: $2,000.00
Unbound. Uncorrected long galleys of the first American edition. Very good with a little dampstaining to the edges of a few leaves, and with chips and additional tidemarks to the verso of page 58 (the title poem), which has a review slip taped to it and which evidently served as the outer wrap when these galleys were sent or stored. The table of contents lacks pagination and otherwise varies slightly from the published version (which presented the poems in a different order than the British edition). Fragile and rare – presumably only a handful of copies were prepared for use by the publisher.
